It’s also completely reasonable for people to fear for their lives. This guy is attacking an old lady, he’s crazy. If I try to intervene, will he pull out a knife or a gun and stab me? That’s probably what would be going through my mind.

Also, some people are scared they are going to get hurt as well. A friend of mine helped someone being attacked and got his jaw broken along with three ribs. He witnessed another assault, and said he wanted to help but was frozen in fear.
